A poetic satire I wrote as a project for my English class portraying irony in the sense of the affects modern day technology, specifically internet has on our current generation. The underlying message is whether developing technology is for the better or the worse.
[video=youtube;CxjGIe_ya84] ]
Mindless mass of minute details
In reference to vapid lives we lead.
Brief one-liners and formal acquaintances
With internet, we forget to "read".
Lack of intimate communication,
our only engagements occur online.
Is this all really innovation or are we all just blind?
Institution becomes obscure, we educate ourselves
With Wikipedia and Google, who needs teacher help?
Convenience is easy, even scary in a way...
Access to all desires, becoming stranger's prey.
Posting our identities, dating online...
With Facebook and Twitter
We lose track of "time".
Forgetting who we are
Engrossing ourselves in cyber drama
When life passes us by, we'll know it was karma.
I really thank those that read it. It means a lot to me.
